If you’ve ever considered getting an eye lift, you may be wondering what is causing other people to want to get one. One of the most commonly asked questions is why do people get an eye lift?
A fancy word for getting an eye lift is known as blepharoplasty.
Blepharoplasty is also known as eyelid surgery. Most people get this type of surgery because they are trying to reduce aging around their eyes. The most obvious symptoms of advanced age in the eyelids include lax eyelid skin and wrinkles, both of which may make patients appear to be constantly tired, weary, or stressed, even if they aren’t feeling this way!
Why are people getting blepharoplasty?
When it comes to any type of facial plastic surgery, everyone’s reasonings vary. You may choose plastic surgery for one reason while another person has their own reasoning. Here are a few reasons people are getting a blepharoplasty (also known as an eye lift).
Lift upper eyelid skin
An eye lift can assist with sagging or hanging upper eyelid skin, which can “hood” over the eyes and can actually affect a person being able to see.
Smooth puffiness
Believe it or not but an eye lift can also help smooth puffiness under the eye. If you’re a person who wakes up every morning with puffiness under the eye, an eye lift could actually be a benefit.
Stretched skin
An eye lift can help get rid of excess skin that is around the eyelids. When someone has excess skin around the eyelids, it can cause droopiness. An eye lift can fix this issue.
Remove excess fatty tissue
An eye lift can also help remove excess fatty tissue that may be present under the eyes. This is often referred to as eyebags.
Make the outside reflect the inside
If you’re struggling with how you look, then an eye lift can help the outside of your body match the inside. If you’re feeling young and vibrant on the inside, then an eye lift can help you feel that way on the outside.
Correct laxity
An eye lift can help correct laxity, which is when the eyelids are too loose.
What reputation does an eye lift have?
An eye lift is a surgery that helps to remove wrinkles around the eyes and improve the overall look of the upper eyelid. It is a relatively simple procedure, but it can make a big difference in how you look. An eye lift has a good reputation for being a safe and effective way to reduce aging around the eyes.
How long does an eye lift surgery last?
The results from an eye lift surgery should last around 5-7 years. However, it is important to note that everyone’s body will age differently and the results from your surgery may not last as long as someone else’s.
Why are people getting a brow lift?
A brow lift surgery is performed in order to fix damage caused by certain aging processes. In other words, a brow lift helps to create a youthful appearance. One of the most significant causes for this injury are frown lines or excess skin on the forehead and around the eyes, as well as sagging or excess skin on the upper lids (commonly called hooding).
Does a brow lift help with appearances?
The surgery is not just about appearances, however. A brow lift is also about functionality. Many patients report that they experience improved vision following the surgery due to the removal of excess skin from their eyelids.
How long does a brow lift take?
The surgery to correct these problems usually takes around two hours and can be done with a local or general anesthetic. Most people can return to work within a week.
Why would a person choose to have a brow lift surgery?
There are many reasons why a person might choose to have brow lift surgery. If you are considering it, be sure to talk to your plastic surgeon about your specific goals.
